Mart Users

From r9 onwards, you can add individual users and Active Directory user groups to Mart. Individual users are categorized as Server users and Windows users, which are based on the way they are authenticated. There are no database level users in the current Mart.

The descriptions of user types are as follows:

Server User

Specifies the user that is authenticated by the Mart Portal. The server user is an application level user and not a database user. A server user provides the user name and password to log on to Mart. For example, Peter is a Business Analyst and reviews data models. Add Peter as a Server user as he accesses Mart only at the time of reviewing data models. Peter provides his user name and password to connect to Mart.

Only a Server user can access erwin Mart Portal. There are no database level users in the current Mart.

Windows User

Indicates a user that is authenticated by the Windows network.

If you have configured Azure Active Directory (AD) in erwin Mart Portal configuration, while adding users, you can search and select users associated with the necessary Windows users. Such users can then log in to erwin Mart Portal using their Azure AD log on names. For example, AZUREAD\abd@MyOrg.com or AZUREAD\abc or abc@MyOrg.com.

To log into erwin Mart Portal using the domain/username, windows users have to be a part of an active directory group that has already been configured in your erwin Mart Portal configuration.

User Group

Specifies a user group that is part of an Active Directory. Use this option to add an entire group that accesses Mart. For example, you have a user group ABC-Domain\XYZDivision_AllModelers@MyOrg.com. Add XYZDivision_AllModelers, so that all users that are part of this group and are authenticated by ABC-Domain, connect to Mart. Users of this group do not have to provide their user name and password when they connect to Mart.

A password should fulfill the following criteria:

Contains at least 1 lowercase character
Contains at least 1 uppercase character
Contains at least 1 number
Is minimum 6 characters in length
Is maximum 130 characters in length

Apart from the above criteria, special characters are optional.

Also, if you enter an incorrect password five consecutive times, your account will be locked for five minutes (300 seconds) by default.
You can change the time for which the account stays locked as follows:

From Windows Start menu, click All Programs, erwin, Mart Portal 12.5 , Configure Mart Portal.
The erwin Mart Configuration dialog appears.
On the Mart Portal tab, edit the value of the Account Lockout Duration (Seconds) field to an appropriate value. At the most, you can set it to 30 days (2592000 seconds).
